Uprooted by Naomi NovikMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Girl meets Dragon. No, not that kind of dragon. This one is a magical fellow who regularly carts off a young girl from a nearby village to keep her in his tower for ten years, and then releases her.
Only this time the girl turns out to have magic of her own. As such, she draws the attention of the sinister Wood, which has been trying its best to kill any human it can get its hands on.
The dragon and the girl end up fighting off the Wood, and some folks who seem to have been taken over by the Wood.
Interesting set up, the Wood is suitably sinister, the Dragon suitably opaque and threatening in his own way.
The story takes quite a few twists and turns along the way and what appears to be happening is not at all what it seems.
I enjoyed it very much! The audio version was very well done!
